Common Vascular Conditions And Their Treatments
- Varicose veins
Varicose veins are enlargements of particular veins. These enlarged veins are visible in some cases and not in certain conditions. However, most varicose vein conditions are accompanied by pain and swelling. Some other symptoms of varicose veins include muscle cramps, skin discoloration, and twisted veins.
Pregnancy, old age, and obesity can increase the risks of being diagnosed with varicose veins. Women are also more prone to varicose veins than men usually are. Treatments for varicose veins include Sclerotherapy, VenaSeal, Radiofrequency Ablation, and some lifestyle changes.
- Leg pain
Leg pain can be caused due to any of the vascular conditions mentioned in this list. Varicose veins, spider veins, PAD, or restless leg syndrome can be a reason for your leg pain. Doctors analyze your symptoms and sometimes may ask you to get a vascular ultrasound to diagnose the condition. After diagnosing the condition, the doctor usually decides your treatment procedure considering your medical history and symptoms.
- Skin discoloration
The cause for skin discoloration can be chronic venous insufficiency, superficial venous thrombosis, deep vein thrombosis, or peripheral artery disease. These medical conditions are treated with procedures like Sclerotherapy, VenaSeal, and Radiofrequency ablation. Regular exercise, weight loss, and compression stockings are also effective.
- Spider veins
Spider veins are mini versions of varicose veins. They often look like a spider web, hence the name. Your doctor can treat spider veins with Sclerotherapy, Laser treatment, and Radiofrequency ablation.
- Peripheral arterial diseases/ PAD
Peripheral arterial disease is a condition in which your arteries get narrower, and blood flow to the legs is affected. This condition occurs when you have leg pain or a higher risk for heart attack and atherosclerosis. The symptoms include erectile dysfunction in men, shining legs, sores on feet/legs, cramps, and skin discoloration. Doctors treat PAD with medication, lifestyle changes, surgical procedures, and might even refer for angioplasty in severe cases.
- Restless Leg Syndrome
The medical condition in which you have an urge to move your legs unnecessarily is called Restless Leg Syndrome. This condition might interrupt you from a good night’s sleep. And the symptoms of Restless leg syndrome include lack of sleep, twitching of legs at night, and leg discomfort. Certain medical conditions such as pregnancy, spinal cord problems, kidney failure, neuropathy, and iron deficiency can be due to this syndrome. Doctors treat Restless leg syndrome with medications, massages, foot wraps, regular exercises, and by avoiding caffeine.
